Chapter 13
"Where the hell is Jimmy?" Tej said, looking at his watch. "His ass shoulda been here 15 minutes ago." He was seated in front of the big screen in the garage watching music videos.
"He's probably on his way," Suki said. She was seated at the table working on another design.
"He better be. I got big plans for tonight and he was supposed to be here." Tej smiled to himself as he thought about the course he was planning for tonight's race.
"Oh yeah? What yah got planned?" Suki asked, looking up from her drawing.
"I ain't telling."
"You ain't telling," Suki said with a mischievous look in her eye. She got up from the table and walked over to Tej. She stopped in front of him, blocking his view of the TV.
"Baby whatcha doing?" He said, eyeing her. She was dressed in a pair of tight red leather pants and a black halter top that exposed her toned stomach.
She straddled his hips and said, "Nothing." She began placing kisses along his jaw, while her hand inched its way under the hem of his T-shirt.
"Baby, Jimmy'll be here in a minute," Tej said, his voice had dropped an octave. He placed his hands on her hips.
"But he's not here now." Suki pressed her lips to his, lightly at first and slowly deepened the kiss. He ran his fingers through her hair and pulled her body closer to his. When she felt him getting hard, she pulled away. "Tell me what you have planned for tonight's race."
He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by the buzzing of the door. "Jimmy's here," he said.
"Lucky for you cause I was bout to find out," Suki said getting off his lap.
"Yeah right! I got will power girl," Tej said. He watched her go to the door and took a deep breath.
"Jimmy! What happened?" Suki asked when Jimmy rushed by her into the garage.
"We got trouble," Jimmy said, coming to stand in front of Tej.
Tej looked up and saw that Jimmy's white T-shirt was covered in dirt and blood. He jumped to his feet. "What the fuck happened to you? Who did this?" Jimmy's face was bruised and bloodied.
"I don't know," Jimmy said. Suki pushed him into a seat at the table and began cleaning away the blood from his face.
"Somebody kicked yo' ass and you don't know who did it?" Tej said.
"They had masks on. I didn't see their faces." Jimmy winced when Suki began applying antiseptic to the cuts on his face.
"What did they want?" Suki asked.
"Wanted to know where Brian and Rome was," Jimmy said.
"You didn't tell them did you?" Suki asked.
"Do I look like Willie Lump Lump to you? You think I'm fucking stupid? I kind of figured when they were kicking my ass that they weren't trying to give them some fucking milk and cookies."
"So they just let you go?" Tej asked, sitting back down.
"The fuckers started fighting each other so I ran. Especially after I heard them mention Verone."
"Verone?" Suki said.
"What?! He's supposed to be on lockdown." Tej said.
"All I know is that one of the guys said Verone was going to kill them if they screwed this up and that they'd been watching B and Ro. But they must not have been watching when they left or they wouldn't be trying to find out where they are."
"We gotta tell Brian and Rome," Suki said.
Tej took out his cell phone and dialed Brian's cell but was told that the user was out of range. The same thing happened with Rome's cell. "You got the number in L.A.?" Tej asked. "I ain't got it."
"Me either." Neither Suki nor Jimmy had it.
"How the fuck ain't none of us got the number!" Tej said. "We got fucking Verone looking for our boys and we can't even tell 'em!"
"We'll figure something out," Suki said, finishing up her first aid on Jimmy.
"Thanks Suki." Jimmy said.
She rubbed her hand over the fuzz on Jimmy's head and went over to stand behind Tej. She kissed his cheek and began massaging his shoulders.
Tej's cell phone rang. When he looked at the caller ID, he saw that it was Jose. "Shit! I forgot about the races." He flipped the cell open. "Sup Jose?.Ran into some problems.You gon have to find somebody else to organize tonight.What!?.Well you do it then.You know what? Fuck it! I got other shit to worry about than the races.Yeah! Whatever!" He snapped the cell closed and got up from the table.
"Damn!" Jimmy throws his bloodied T-shirt across the room.
"Y'all can go to the races if you want. I ain't feeling it no mo'" Tej said.
"Naw baby, I'm not going," Suki said.
"I'm not going anywhere looking like this," Jimmy said.
"I'm going home and try to figure what we gon do," Tej said.
"Ey man, let me catch that guest room tonight. I ain't going back to my place tonight," Jimmy said.
"Fo sho, cuz," Tej said.
They all left the garage and Suki got into her S2000 and Jimmy got into his Yukon. Tej was about to get into his truck when he turned around and went back to the garage.
"Where you going?" Suki yelled.
"Forgot to set the alarm."
Just as he was unlocking the door, the night air was filled with the sound of a loud explosion. The force of the garage exploding threw Tej back into a car that was parked outside of the garage.
"TEJ!!"
"Where the hell is Jimmy?" Tej said, looking at his watch. "His ass shoulda been here 15 minutes ago." He was seated in front of the big screen in the garage watching music videos.
